Fabric that is produced by bonding or interlocking fibers via a mechanical, chemical, thermal, or solvent means
|
nonwoven fabrics
|
|
A web of fibers is the result of which grouping of fabric
|
nonwoven
|
|
most identifiable nonwoven (1950s)
|
handi-wipes
|
|
4 fibers used in nonwovens
|
Olefin, polyester, rayon, & polypropylene.
all thermoplastic & all manufactured |
|
Classification of fiber:
Fast production Versatile Low cost |
Nonwoven
|
|
Two categories of nonwovens
|
Durable & Disposable
|
|
3 methods to manufacturing Nonwovens
|
Drylaid
Wetlaid Spulaid |
|
Most widely method used to manufacture a nonwoven
|
drylaid
|
|
Least used method to manufacture a nonwoven
|
wetlaid
|
|
when the material structure is formed by the blowing thermoplastic fibers onto a collection surface as the fibers are being extruded.
|
spulaid
|
|
First nonwoven
Largest volume of nonwovens are made using this method 1940s extensively used in disposable items |
carded-web nonwovens
|
|
Filament fibers spunlaid into a web
fibers interlock using thermal entanglement or adhesive bonding very strong nonwoven wide variety of weights, degree of softness and drape Tyvek example |
Spunbonded nonwoven
|
|
formed by wetlaid staple fibers using a high pressure method
fibers knot and curl around each other no binding is used yielding an end product that is soft, bulky, and drapeable used in robes, mattress pads, quilting, mops, wipes |
spunlaced nonwoven
|
|
spunlaid micro denier sized fiament fibers that break into staple fibers
Good Insulators Low fiber strength and low abrasion resistance Thinsulate (example) |
Melt-blown nonwovens
|
|
Also known as mechanical felt or needle punched felt
made from any staple fiber Fibers are drylaid and entangled to form a web web then passes through barbed or hooked needles which further entangles the web used for rugs, blankets, and acoustical insulation |
Needle punched nonwovens
|
|
End product may be wet, dry, or coated
Fibers used: rayon, polyester, polypropylene products=swiffer pads, dusting cloths, clorox disenfecting wipes, stridex facial pads |
nonwoven wipes
|
|
Oldest known textile
can be shaped in any direction low drapability, resiliency, strength made from 50%-100% wool fibers arranged in layers of thin webs |
felt
|
|
Layered material in which the face or shell of a fabric is joined to a backing of tricot to produce a more heavier weight fabric
|
Bonded materials
|
|
This process is fast and economical
|
bonding process
|
|
The two methods of bonding
|
Wet adhesive
foam flame bonding |
|
Made by incorporating air into elastic like substance
most commonly from rubber and polyurethane lofty springy bulky material, too weak to be used without backing or covering |
foam bonding
|
|
face or shell of material is layered with a foam or nonwoven material then a backing to perform a sandwhich effect
primarily intended for clothing insulation |
laminated material
|
|
Consists of an insulating filler secured between two layers of fabric
held together by sewing or bonding |
quilted material
|
|
Needles and threads are used to sew or stitch yarns and fibers together into a fabric by creating a web
Malimo fabrics |
Stitch bonding
|
|
Films, laces, Embroidery, and Tufted Fabrics are all fabrics made from __________________
